RFP: 2020 Dufferin Board of Trade Italy Trip
|
The Dufferin Board of Trade is seeking
requests for proposals
to provide a quote for group travel to Italy. The Dufferin Board of Trade is a not for profit, membership based, business organization that connects the business community in the Greater Dufferin Area. Many Chambers of Commerce/Boards of Trade offer group trips to their members, often using Indus Travel. Through such trips, Chambers/Boards are able to generate operating revenue, and offer an added benefit to their members. We have surveyed our membership and have found significant interest, with a preference for a trip to Italy in the Spring of 2020.

Upscale, elegant, and equally eclectic, Revival 1863 is a prohibition-inspired lounge in the heart of Historic Downtown Orangeville where the cocktails flow and the music is lively.
Set beneath a beautiful 19th-century train station, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time as you stroll down the red-carpeted staircase and into the lounge. The exposed brickwork, stone pillars, crystal chandeliers, and plush velvet wingback chairs set the scene, while the live music and eclectic tableware offer an authentic speakeasy experience!
